Background: Management of patients with concomitant carotid & coronary artery disease requiring cardiac surgery presents a challenge. Avoidance of stroke(CVS), MI(myocardial infarction),and death within 30 days is important.The aim of this work is to evaluate same-day carotid artery stenting (CAS) & coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG).
Methods: Thirty consecutive patients with severe carotid & coronary artery disease underwent same-day CAS & urgent CABG. Procedures were performed at a single center.Patients underwent CAS under embolic protection devices & then CABG on the same day. Tirofiban infusion was started one hour before CAS & was maintained for 4 hours, then discontinued 2 hours before CABG. The primary end point of the study was the composite incidence rate of MI, CVS, and death within 30 days. Patients underwent offpump CABG, except 1 for valve surgery. Clopidogrel and aspirin was initiated once postoperative bleeding was not suspected.
Results: There were 23 males & 7 females, mean age was 66,93 years. There were 17 diabetic patients (56.7%), and 13 patients were hypertensive (43.3%). All patients had good left ventricular function before surgery. Peripheral vascular disease was present in 6 patients(20.0%).Five patients had left main disease (16.7%),14 patients had triple vessel disease (46.7%), and 14 patients had proximal LAD disease (46.7%). One patient had concomitant aortic valve replacement with CABG. Twenty patients had right CAS with a mean stenosis of 80% & a mean of 38% stenosis in the contralateral side. Ten patients had left CAS with mean stenosis of 83% & a mean of 37% in the contralateral side (statistically insignificant).No major or minor CVS or MI during the follow up. A single patient had drop of blood pressure(BP) following CAS prior to CABG ;this patient had CABG after stabilization of the BP, within 4 hours of CAS with no complications. One patient had postoperative bleeding following CABG, managed with blood & plasma transfusion. The non-survived patient had a right CAS prior to aortic valve replacement and CABG; died during 2nd day due to intractable arrhythmia . Conclusions: Same-day approach appeared safe with low in-hospital mortality for consecutive CAS/CABG .
